PG - 418-432 LID - 10.1007/s13346-023-01408-6 [doi] AB - Microglia are important cells that act on regulating neuroinflammation and neurofunction after the induction of ischemic stroke (IS). Consequently, the efficient accumulation of drugs within ischemic regions, particularly in microglia, serves as a valuable approach for achieving effective therapy by attenuating microglia-mediated cerebral ischemic injury. In this study, we designed mannose (man)-conjugated luteolin (lut)-loaded platelet-derived exosomes (lut/man-pEXO) as surface engineered multifunctional cascade-delivery drug carriers to target ischemic blood vessels and subsequent microglia to enhance drug accumulation and induce neuroprotection of neurovascular unit (NVU) against IS. The results revealed that as platelets naturally gathered in pathological ischemic cerebral vessels, lut/man-pEXO could bind to platelets and efficiently target ischemic injury sites. Moreover, owing to the selective binding affinity of mannose present in lut/man-pEXO towards the mannose receptor expressed on microglia, lut/man-pEXO exhibited superior microglia-targeting properties, inducing the increased uptake of lut by microglia. As a result, lut/man-pEXO regulated microglia by inhibiting the activation of detrimental M1 and promoting the transition towards the anti-inflammatory type (M2), thus attenuating ischemic damage of NVU by reducing the infarct area, rescuing the damage of blood-brain barrier (BBB) and preventing inflammatory transformation of astrocytes.
